This would depend on what the reason for the suit is and what payments are made for. If, for instance the suit was for unpaid wages, then the direct payments demanded by the court for wages would be taxable, as would interest allowed by the court. If a suit was for damages such as an injury to a person in an automobile accident then the award would not be taxable. Worker's Compensation payments are also an item that is not taxable.

Can you file a civil suit against the teacher?

You would have to bring suit primarily against the teacher. And then - you would have to consider the value (and your chances of success), in bringing a suit against the school. Such a suit could conceivably allege poor supervision, or some other catch-all, but unless you can prove that the school was aware (or should have been aware)of the treachers activities, the chances of winning are pretty slim.
